Patent CA-2370625-A1 (CA)
Title: Infrared dryer with air purge shutter
Inventor: QUASS JEFFREY DONALD
IPC: F26B13/10
Filed: 2000-03-08
Abstract: A combination infrared/air convection dryer or oven for travelling webs. A  shutter assembly (40) is provided between the infrared radiation source (17) and the moving web in order to selectively expose the web to infrared radiation, and to create a sealed air chamber (19) when in the closed position. Enhanced drying of the web and/or a coating on the web at high speed is achieved without a concomitant increase in dryer length. When the drying atmosphere has a high concentration of solvent, exposure of that atmosphere to the heating elements, which can cause explosions, is eliminated by actuation of the shutters. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, air bars are used to floatingly support the moving web to avoid contact of the web with dryer elements.
Patent CA-2372015-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AUGER RICHARD
IPC: A01G27/04
Filed: 2000-04-28
Abstract: L'invention vise un matelas capillaire (1) qui est spécialement conçu pour la sub-irrigation de culture en pots et qui, de par sa structure, présente une surface supérieure sèche et donc libre du problème de colonies d'algues et des insectes associés aux matelas capillaires existants. Ce matelas capillaire comprend trois couches distinctes. La première de celles-ci forme le dessus du matelas. Elle est constituée d'une mince feuille polymérique (2) traversée d'une multitude de petits trous (3), sur laquelle les pots sont posés. La couche centrale est construite d'une feuille de mousse résiliente (4) à cellules ouvertes et compressibles offrant un passage aisé à l'eau. La couche de dessous est constituée d'une masse de matière absorbante (5) capable d'absorber l'eau et assurer une bonne répartition et distribution de celle-ci. En usage, ce matelas capillaire est déposé ou autrement installé sur une surface plane approximativement de niveau et imperméable.  Entre la surface sur laquelle le matelas repose et ce dernier, on fait courir un certain nombre de tuyaux d'alimentation en eau perforés. Ces tuyaux d'alimentation émettent de l'eau en différents points situés sur leurs longueurs et donc fournissent de l'eau à la masse de matière absorbante (5) du matelas. Sur la surface supérieure du matelas capillaire, on pose les pots (6) contenant les cultures en n'importe quel point désiré. La masse des pots comprime la mousse, diminuant ainsi la dimension de ses cellules et par le fait même rapprochant la feuille polymérique formant la couche de dessus de matelas de la masse de matière absorbante formant la couche inférieure. Cette diminution de la dimension des cellules de la mousse résiliente formant la couche centrale favorise l'ascension capillaire de l'eau entre la couche de dessous du matelas qui est gorgée d'eau, et la couche de dessus.

Abstract: This relates to a pull-out sliding tray assembly (100) which may be used, fo r instance, in delivering drink bottles or cans (106) using gravity to the fro nt of the tray. In particular, the disclosure deals with one or more trays havi ng a surrounding wall which remains in place during normal use. By raising the front or lowest end of the tray (102), the tray assembly may be slid forward  so that the rear of the tray may be filled without necessarily disturbing an y bottles or cans already present in the front of the tray. This device is especially useful as an adapter to be used in pre-existing refrigerators or refrigeration units. It may instead form an assembly for use as original or replacement shelves inside an existing refrigeration unit.

Title: Immunoconjugates having high binding affinity
Inventor: PASTAN IRA
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: Mesothelin is a differentiation antigen present on the surface of ovarian cancers, mesotheliomas and several other types of human cancers. Because among normal tissues, mesothelin is only present on mesothelial cells, it represents a good target for antibody mediated delivery of cytotoxic agents. The present invention is directed to anti-mesothelin antibodies, including Fv molecules with particularly high affinity for mesothelin, and immunoconjugates employing them. Also described are diagnostic and therapeutic methods using the antibodies. The anti-mesothelin antibodies are well-suited for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers of the ovary, stomach, squamous cells, mesotheliomas and other malignant cells expressing mesothelin.

Abstract: Cette invention a pour objet un système de communication utilisant une aile volante à charge ailaire donnée, se déplaçant à des vitesses relativement réduites et qui peut voler durant de longues périodes. Ce système de communication utilise l'avion comme plate forme de haute altitude à long terme, susceptible de remplir au moins une fonction sélectionnée parmi de nombreuses fonctions potentielles. Une de ces fonctions est de relier une station à terre utilisant des signaux à ondes radio et un satellite utilisant des signaux optiques. Une autre fonction est de servir de station relais entre des noeuds de communication terrestres et des utilisateurs finaux individuels. Du fait qu'un avion peut être relié à une station de manière stable, les antennes des utilisateurs finaux n'ont pas besoin d'être ajustables à tout moment. Un grand nombre d'avions peut être utilisé dans un tel système, avec les antennes des utilisateurs finaux conçues pour un faisceau d'antenne étroit de manière à permettre une réutilisation des fréquences pour différentes liaisons de communication.

Inventor: HUNTER NEIL
IPC: C12N15/11
Filed: 2001-07-27
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method for detecting, enumerati ng and/or identifying microorganisms in a sample. More particularly, the presen t invention provides a method for determining total microbial content in a sample by detecting the presence of nucleotide sequences associated with all  or part of 16S rDNA or its corresponding 16S rRNA or its homologue, function al equivalent or derivative. The nucleotide sequences of the present invention may be used as an indicator of any microorganism and, hence, represents a universal target sequence which is indicative of total microbial content in a sample. The universal target sequence may also be varied to render same genu s or species specific or the universal target used to trap microbial DNA or RN A which may be subsequently analyzed by sequence analysis or genetic probe technology. The universal target sequence is useful inter alia to design as universal primers and probes to amplify any microbial-derived genomic sequence, as a means to detect and enumerate total microorganisms and to identify microorganisms in a sample at the genus or species level. Such uses  enable improved methods of enviroprotection, bioremediation, medical diagnos is and industrial microbiology. The present invention further relates to the universal target sequence in isolated form and/or primers or probes capable of hybridizing to same and kits for the detection of total microbial content in  a sample.
